MLD Snooping
MLD snooping allows the switch to examine the MLD packets and forwards the decision based on their content. You can
configure MLD snooping in subnets that receive MLD queries from either MLD or the MLD snooping querier. MLD snooping
limits the IPv6 multicast traffic at Layer 2 by configuring Layer 2 LAN ports and dynamically forwards the IPv6 multicast traffic
to the ports that want to receive it. Hosts join IPv6 multicast groups either by sending an unsolicited MLD report or by sending
an MLD report in response to a general query from an IPv6 multicast router (the switch forwards general queries from IPv6
multicast routers to all the ports in a VLAN). The switch snoops these reports and in response to a snooped MLD report, the
switch creates an entry in its forwarding table for the VLAN on which the report was received. When the other hosts that are
interested in this multicast traffic send MLD reports, the switch snoops their report and adds them to the existing forwarding
